Firmware: Hi3798mv100

| Tool | Purpose | |------|---------| | binwalk | Identify partitions inside raw dump | | ubireader_extract_files | Extract UBIFS rootfs | | unsquashfs | Extract SquashFS | | hi_signer (leaked) | Sign bootloader for HiSilicon | | himd5 | Calculate HiSilicon-specific checksums | | fastboot (HiSilicon variant) | Flash via USB |

Some researchers have looked into the bootrom of the HI3798MV100 (similar to other HiSilicon chips). There have been discussions about: hi3798mv100 firmware

Interesting find: The HI3798MV100’s bootrom can sometimes be tricked into accepting unsigned second-stage bootloaders via specific USB VID/PID requests — a remnant of factory debugging. | Tool | Purpose | |------|---------| | binwalk

Cause: The firmware you flashed has drivers for a different Wi-Fi chip. Solution: You cannot fix this without rebuilding the kernel. Find a firmware build that specifically lists your chipset (e.g., "Hi3798MV100 + RTL8822BS"). creating LibreELEC / CoreELEC builds

The most fascinating reads involve bypassing locked bootloaders, creating LibreELEC / CoreELEC builds, or dumping the hidden NAND/NOR partitions.
